Default rice club...

I feel I just joined the rice club. :[

This morning my parents come in and say "what's wrong with your car?"

"nothing, why?"

"your grille is coming off"

"oh i know i just need to tighten the top right mount"

"nono its coming off."

so i go look at it, and another 2 mounts came off the bottom grille. its a billet grill on top of the stock one, per the instructions for installation.

i have no time to fix it. i go to the dark side, and get a... ZIP TIE.

there is now one zip tie holding my bottom grille on. not as bad as a whole bumper or something like a lot of ricers. but i must get this fixed and quit the rice club.

i thought i'd share. im ashamed. :D

zip ties are better than duct tape since it can be less visible, plus you have a variety of colors XD

Zip ties are very usefull for a variety fastening/securing needs. Just don't use 'em for something important, like holding the hood on or as lightweight enginge mount replacements.
